Saw them for the Tapehead tour. They were in a small club on Jacksonville's westside. We stood right in front of them. We knew the words to all of their songs. We might have been the only ones who did. We shook hands at the end of the show. My wife got a pick from Doug. They are the coolest!
Thank you so much for uploading this. I remember this used to be uploaded way WAY back in the ancient days of youtube (circa 2006-07). It's great to finally see it semi-watchable quality again.
What a closet classic in every way! The kings of understated awesomeness! They just have too much bandwidth for the average ear to comprehend i guess. No Auto Tune, it must suck, right? Nah. It’s heavy, it’s funky as fuck, it’s melodic and tightly crafted. Great i mean GREAT guitar! Man just listen to that slinky string-bending lead. Ty Tabor is as good as anyone out there. Uniquely powerful and bluesy lead vocals, signature Beatlesque backing vocals. Drums locked in and grooving hard. And the bass… I go back to the 2:55 break over and over. That tone. As a bassist, that’s Holy Grail stuff right there. I tried for 26 years to get that bass tone after seeing them live on this ‘94 Dogman tour (opening for Scorpions) until dUg Pinnick came out with his signature Tech 21 stompbox. The man is a groove machine. New King’s X single just came out! First new album in 14 years drops in September! Tour to follow!! Do not miss your chance to catch one of the best bands in the world live! Get your tickets for the mighty KING’S X!!!!
He always does that. There's only a few songs where he always sticks pretty close to the solo on the album but that's what so amazing about him, he still captures the same feel and essence of it.
Alice In Chains basically admittedly stole from their blueprint of having two singers.. that's why you have Layne and Jerry in one band, and Doug and Ty in another one. At worst, you have the prequel to Alice In Chains here! For AIC, I DON'T KNOW how I would have made it without these guys either.. I wasn't even a rockstar and I'm saying this! They were part of my life saving of myself experience session
great footage man, thanks... and dug did often call this song "I pretend" when doing it live.. I posted a clip recently where he called it a love song...lol
